    dear Antonio,

    the example of 'bijectie' is a rather hypothetical one. Ask any
    Dutchman/woman what that word is supposed to mean... Or for that matter a
    'monojectie' or 'trijectie'.

    Similarly, find anyone that had been using the 'ij' key on his
    old-fashioned type-machine... I hated to use that key, so I was using the
    'i'+ 'j'when "aan het tijpen" or rather "aan het typen" ;)

    groetjes, Rein
